On a mountain somewhere above treeline, in some of the coldest and worst winter conditions imaginable, two men lie unconscious in the snow as explosive winds batter the nearby summits.

In The Last Traverse: Tragedy and Resilience in the Winter Whites, Ty Gagne masterfully lays out the events that led up to an epic and legendary rescue attempt in severe and dangerous winter conditions in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. More than a cautionary tale, it is a tribute to all the volunteers and professionals who willingly put themselves in harm's way to save lives. This is a must-listen for anyone who hikes the Whites.

Ever conscious of the passage of critical seconds, I felt I was not just hearing, but living all of the moving parts of an impossible search and rescue for two young men in the formidable winter weather and daunting terrain of the Whites. Fascinating, beginning to end, Human and compelling. A brilliant expose about leadership and responsibility at it’s finest.
